OK, If I can lead on from this. The cause of bug 21792 that I raised
yesterday is, I'm told, that I'd set the main form visible but
minimised. The reason I'd done this is that before the form was
displayed I wanted the user to provide database login credentials, I
couldn't rely on a standard dialogue for that since I also needed to
have him select what kind of database- PostgreSQL or Firefox- as well as
the server and possibly port.
What is the correct thing to do in this sort of situation? I've seen a
description of a hack for Delphi which relied on creating the main form
manually, should something like that be attempted for Lazarus?
Or should I simply redo the app so that the login is the main form?
